Middle managers are the backbone of every organization—but too often, they’re carrying the weight in silence, exhausted, disengaged, and burning out under constant pressure. In this episode of Her Boss Brain, Pallavi Jain dives into the hidden challenges of middle management, from executing strategies with limited support to leading teams while feeling unseen and undervalued.
Through candid storytelling, Pallavi shares her own burnout as an HR leader and introduces her ATM framework—Arrive, Take responsibility, Make a conscious choice—a powerful tool to help managers reclaim calm, clarity, and control. You’ll also hear Sophia’s story, showing how small shifts in mindset and presence can ripple through a team, boosting collaboration, engagement, and productivity.
Whether you’re a manager ready to take charge of your inner game or an executive committed to supporting and retaining your leaders, this episode offers practical strategies to prevent burnout and unlock the true potential of your teams.
